When the Quaddies were created as part of the Cay Project, they were well-supplied with quality literature. In particular, their children's tales included the following:
- The Little Compressor That Could
- Bobby BX-99 Solves the Excess Humidity Mystery
- Bobby BX-99 and the Plant Virus
They were also taught music, including such great classics as "Roy G. Biv, Roy G. Biv, he's the color quaddie that the spectrum gives..."
As a result of the limited scope of their teaching, they avidly watched/read smuggled-in stories like:
- "The Prisoner of Zenda"
- This is an actual adventure story written in 1894 (and movie), see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prisoner_of_Zenda
- For discussion regarding the title, see Goodreads
- Stories from the Ninja of the Twin Stars collection, including:
- "Nest of Doom"
- "The Nest's Revenge"
- Tales from Rainbow Illustrated Romances, by Valeria Virga:
- "Sir Randan's Folly"
- "Love in the Gazebo"
- "Sir Randan and the Bartered Bride"
